Here’s a burger for those of you who like it hot, featuring jalapeno, for bright, vernal spice, and chipotle, for smoldering, smoky warmth. Pair it with a cooling beer or lemonade and plenty of napkins.

This goes beyond a basic blue cheese burger with a thick blue cheese sauce, to better get blue cheesy flavor in every bite, plus basil, which beautifully complements the cheese. All in all, over-the-top.

Carne asada means grilled meat. Since the meat is cut in strips, a grill pan or skillet works well instead of a barbecue. The meat is seasoned before it goes in the pan, and then served on tortillas with a choice of condiments like guacamole, red onion, cilantro and lime.
